...older traditions and to repeated patterns of steps, however difficult. Balanchine's style is a continuum of endlessly varied movement. It requires high, sustained power and top speed. Kirstein, the best historian of his own company, has written about Agon: "Clock time has no reference to visual duration; there is more concentrated movement in Agon than in most 19th century full-length ballets." A similar claim could be made for many Balanchine works, and some created by his less active co-choreographer, Jerome Robbins. So, if nothing else, Misha will need stamina, and having performed Balanchine's Theme...
...their intervals with the devotion of a particle physicist: the poplars, the haystacks, the rose-twined tunnel of the arbor leading to his house, the water. To reproduce their subtleties is impossible; to recollect the differences of tone between one painting and another, apparently identical, defeats the most trained visual memory. But the show's organizers, Art Historians Charles Moffett of the Met and James N.

His act is visual; as with ballet, you must see Fine's game to understand just how talented he is. Fine crosses over dribbling as well as anyone who has ever played in the IAB, and he has the uncanny knack of seeming to float down the court, before--POP--threading a pass through the defense, or launching a gutty drive down the line...
What they did get out of the festival, though, was a two minute segment in the Woodstock movie which gave their very visual act national exposure and established their reputation as the original 50's revival band...
